“ It was my first time visiting “Antojitos”. I had the “3 golpes” breakfast and a “morir soñado” juice! Perfection! I originally ordered for pick-up. However, decided to dine-in instead, due to the sweet and welcoming staff. The place is cozy and meticulously clean. I loved it here! ”
“ Food and service was amazing. If ur in Boston it’s a must have!!!!! ”
“ Antojitos is the type of restaurant Boston needs more of. Opened about 2 years ago, Antojitos serves dominican comfort food. Shout out to Ceasar and everyone who works at Antojitos. This place definitely has a family home cooking vibe that I think we can all appreciate. We ordered the lunch special ($15) for a plate of rice (white or yellow pigeon pea rice) and a meat (at the time there was braised beef, pork, and chicken), a beef empanada ($3) fried green plantains with sauce ($4) and a roast pork + ham Cuban sandwich ($15) The lunch plate - omg this is pure comfort food. As an Asian American, I don’t have as much experience with Latin food as I wished, but the parallels between the love in food are undeniable. I chose the yellow rice with chicken and wow just look at how many scoops of delicious rice they’re putting into the plate. Even the way Ceasar ladles the juice from the chicken on to the plate is nothing but pure love and an forgotten level of hospitality. Incredible value and flavor. Cuban sandwich- My fiancé also requested a Cuban sandwich and wow this was good. You get 2 different kinds of pork (roast pork + ham), cheese with pickles and I believe some kind of slaw. All flavors were in perfect harmony. I often feel that the biggest sin a sandwich can commit is having too much bread and this Cuban nails the bread ratio perfectly. It came out hot, heavy, and toasted . Great value! We also ordered a beef empanada and the fried green plantains. The empanada was just as you’d expect crispy on the outside and savory + rich ground beef on the inside. This is a lay up for them. The green plantains were fried to order and crispy with a soft delicious inside. I wouldn’t complain if there was more sauce tho . Final thoughts - I’m already planning my next visit. This is food that you will crave and will satisfy your soul ”
“ The food here is amazing for a great value! I love how sweet and accommodating the staff is. I will be a loyal customer. ???????? ”
“ The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and made us feel like we were family. We had 3 different meals. The mangu plate had a lot of food and it was all delicious. The chimichurri was absolutely delicious. The flavors all melted in my mouth. The yaroa with plantains was very tasty as well. It was overall a lot of food for a cheaper price than you usually find. Heavily recommending! 10/10! ”
“ Simple counter restaurant with amazingly friendly service. Very affordable. Huge portions and flavor for days. First time and I forgot to take a photo bc I was too busy eating. I’ll be back. ”
“ From the moment I walked in, this restaurant evoked the true spirit of the Dominican Republic. The food was nothing short of spectacular, bursting with authentic flavors. Beyond the delicious cuisine, the friendly service truly stood out – it felt like a family gathering. The dedication of the owner, his wife, and son, who all work diligently in the restaurant, shines through in the consistent quality of every dish. Without a doubt, this is among the best Dominican restaurants in Boston ”
